		fideloper on Oct 18, 2020 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: We deleted the production database by accident RDS is so very worth paying for this type of issue (in many cases, obviously $60 to multiple thousands a month isn’t great for everything). Otherwise having a binlog based backup (or WAL, I guess, but i don’t know PG that well) is critical. The key point there is they provide point in time recovery possibilities (and even the ability to rewrite history).

Barman (1) is really easy to setup and lets you avoid the many pitfalls of RDS (lower performance, high cost, no superadmin, no arbitrary extensions, waiting for releases, bad log interface).
